Chapter 2285: It Would Only Make the Children Cry
Amy came home from the magic potion shop next door, ran to the kitchen and expectantly asked Mag, who was making the tofu pudding in the kitchen, “Father, are we going to set off tonight? Are we going on Ah Zi’s back, or taking the flying restaurant?”
Mag turned around and smilingly said to Amy, “There will be many of us going this time, so we’ll be taking the flying restaurant. We can even sleep while we’re traveling and we’ll arrive when we wake up the next morning.”
“I have also invited Daphne, Jessica and Ignatsu. They will be coming over shortly. Is it alright?” Amy asked again.
Mag stopped his actions and asked Amy, “Have you talked to their parents about this?”
“I…” Amy was stumped before shaking her head. “I didn’t.”
“That won’t do. If they go out without notifying their parents, they will think that they have gone missing and will be worried about them.” Mag shook his head.
A hint of panic appeared on Amy’s face when she heard that. “W-what should I do now?”
Mag asked her with a smile instead, “What do you think you should do, Little Amy?”
Amy thought about it seriously before saying, “Shall we invite their parents along too?”
“That’s a good idea.” Mag nodded. “But, this is our restaurant’s employees’ team building and vacation, it’s not appropriate to bring so many people along.”
…
“Then, I can tell their parents that my friends are coming on a vacation with us and that I’ll protect them,” Amy’s eyes lit up as she said.
“What if they don’t believe you?”
Amy replied with a serious expression, “If they don’t believe me, I will demonstrate how to shatter a rock with my chest, a rock that is the size of a millstone.”
Mag was touched by the little one’s sincere expression. The children’s traveling plans would definitely be shelved if she performed that in front of the parents.
As the parent, he should go talk to the children’s parents, but he was still busy with work right now.
Gina came over and patted Amy’s head with a smile. “Little Amy, shall I go and talk to the children’s parents with you? I will make them feel at ease.”
“Really, Big Sister Gina?!” Amy looked at Gina with surprise.
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Gina nodded smilingly.
“Then, let’s go now. They are coming back from school soon.” Amy grabbed Gina’s hand and walked to the restaurant’s door.
Mag shook his head with a smile as he continued to mill the soya beans.
With Gina going with Amy, he naturally didn’t have to worry.
Her affinity wasn’t just with the children. Her pure smile could purify one’s soul and make them trust her.
Someone with such a smile would usually do great in sales.
It wasn’t a burden to Mag to add three children at the last minute. It was no problem as long as Amy had fun.
The Demon Islands wasn’t a friendly place, but with him around, it would be a holiday destination.
Gina and Amy returned to the restaurant before dinner and they also brought Jessica, Daphne and Ignatsu along with them.
Ignatsu bit into the red braised pork and his fatty cheeks trembled as the little bean sprout on his head turned one round. “Oh, Amy. It doesn’t matter if there aren’t many dishes, I simply like your family’s dinner ambiance. Can I come to eat at your place often in the future?”
“You’re just lusting after Amy’s family dishes.” Daphne rolled her eyes at him with disdain, but her mouth wasn’t stopping either. She was munching on the kebabs happily.
Jessica’s thoughts weren’t on eating. Instead, she softly asked Amy in her ears, “Amy, are we really going to see the sea? The boundless sea with many seashells for us to pick up on the beach?”
“Mm-hm.” Amy swallowed the meat and nodded. “Yes, we’re going to see the sea, pick seashells on the beach, catch crabs and go beat up sea monsters under the sea.”
“Sea monsters?!”
Fear appeared on the three children’s faces.
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you guys! I am very fierce!” Amy patted Ignatsu’s shoulders and gave him a ‘big boss’ smile.
Ignatsu looked at her and pondered seriously. His gaze turned to Mag. It was still Uncle Mag who looked more dependable.
“Oh yes. Isn’t Big Sister Camilla living on the Demon Islands? Are we going to visit the vampires? I heard their castle on the edge of the cliff is awesome,” Yabemiya said.
“Castle? It sounds so cool. Isn’t it only princes and princesses who live in a castle?” Amy looked shocked as she asked Mag, “Father, let’s go and play in Big Sister Camilla’s castle. It will be fun to play hide-and-seek there.”
The castle that was filled with skeletons would only make the children cry, but it would definitely be thrilling to play hide-and-seek there. Mag nodded with a smile.”Alright. I’ll bring you guys there to take a look.”
Dinner was eaten as Amy imparted some basic knowledge about the sea to the three children. After dinner, Amy brought them upstairs to play, while Mag and the ladies needed to finish the day’s operations.
Mag opened the door and went out with a smile. He greeted his customers before welcoming them in.
Gloria, who was standing in the line, attracted his attention. Gloria, who was wearing a white down jacket, had tied her wavy blonde hair up. Her figure was slender and her features were delicate, so she was still very attractive and stood out from amongst the crowd.
However, she wasn’t here by herself today. Her family of four, oh, there was another stern looking old man with them—Jeffree Moreton.
This wasn’t the first time that Mag had met the Moreton Family’s head, but it was his first time seeing him at Mamy Restaurant.
In his impression, this old-fashioned and stubborn old man had some not very nice cognitive habits, like prejudice and arrogance towards half-breeds.
At first, he was still thinking about how to topple the Moreton Family’s control over the Chamber of Commerce, so that he could change some of the terms.
He didn’t manage to do that yet, but he had already settled the Moreton Family’s heir and had established a close relationship with a strong competitor for the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Scheer.
Hence, it wouldn’t matter if it was Gloria or Scheer who became the new president when the Chamber of Commerce changed its president in spring. He could still change those unfair terms through his relationship with them.
For example, the employment discrimination terms for half-breeds should have been removed long ago.
“Mr. Mag.” Gloria greeted him with a smile.
“Gloria.” Mag nodded his head smilingly too. He could sense that Jeffree was sizing him up very thoroughly when he walked by him.
Mag remained calm and simply nodded slightly.
